rones often suffer misconceptions such as ‘drones are toys’ or ‘drone Dpilots are not ‘real’ pilots,’ says Aimee Mestre during her Innovation Education Session today. What is the real story? Commercial drone pilots are required to understand basic airman knowledge just like pilots and must pass the FAA exam. There is a whole world of drone users who are professional and who advocate aviation knowledge. Drones are at the forefront of deciding airspace usage rules that will lay the ground work for the future of three-dimensional air traffic. Why aren’t we seeing this por- trayed? Aimee believes this is because the aviation subculture is an enig- ma to the general public. Aimee presents the thought-provoking quote, ‘Introducing aviation concepts to children at earlier ages. Drones could become that gateway to concepts at all ages will lay the groundwork for aviation culture and et- aviation. How do we cultivate this asset?
